Rick Risemberg of Bicycle Fixations said a couple of years ago that he had well over 10K miles on his pair of PB fenders (road fixed gear, LA streets) with absolutely no problems. Comparing the old -- and quite narrow -- SKS's I just put on the Ram with the new PB 45 mm fenders on the errand Riv, I must say that the PBs are much less flexible (that's a good thing).
